Thank you for the kind words and beautiful photos of our city! We have work to do but we're very proud of what's been done.

Saw this article as I was on the train from Rome to Naples. Build HSR in Canada, it's great!! France, Spain and Italy are the systems I've used and they're great. We need this in Canada. (better regional systems too, PP needs to visit Europe) www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I work ~1.5km from this photo and 100% agree on more effort in Canada. The REM infrastructure is a slight improvement visually from the 10 lanes of traffic and massive parking parking next to Fairview mall. I'll be so thankful once it starts running though regardless of looks.

$367 per year for the parking sticker is low, I'm always amazed it's not higher. Indoor spots in certain areas run $300 per month.

The only large scale solution to traffic, is less cars, Plante might not have been perfect but she definitely tried to get people out of their cars or give people alternatives to driving.

Not to make you more mad, but isn't there a tariff on imported bicycles in Canada. 13% plus tax on non CETA countries is what I found.

I don't save many things. But I've held on to this for the past 30 years. Things haven't changed much I guess.

Notice the photo blurring license plate cover to avoid speed or red light cameras. I think they're trolling us.

This bugs me too! Montreal example, Project Montreal links the email and socials of their elected officials, facebook and X only even when they have bluesky etc.

Ew! At least Quebec ditched Eric Duhaime recently. Tiny victories!!

Thanks for bringing more awareness to this! Such a shame that it's being discussed in parts of Alberta and Ontario. The fear is that it could come to Quebec and Montreal, with Valerie not running again I worry Ensemble Montreal might follow Calgary and Toronto if they're elected.

Your Comeback Guide to all the Anti-Cycling Arguments You’ll Hear This Year
Anti-bike arguments aren’t just frustrating—they’re outdated, inaccurate, and often repeated without a shred of evidence.

I have a co-worker that thinks Toronto is infinitely better than Montreal simply based on the fact that they "know how to build highways". Ironically these giant highways are why I could never see myself living in or around Toronto, and are one of the reasons why I don't enjoy visiting.

Hearing about this made me appreciate OPUS pricing even more. I didn't know Montreal had student pricing to age 64. Then free over 65 in zone A. Cheaper adult pricing too. Go Montreal!

Not a fan of this or the EM platform. The cycling network is improving year by year in Monteal. This would set us back. Martinez Ferrada veut revoir l’ensemble du réseau cyclable www.lapresse.ca/actualites/g...

Everyone thinks I'm crazy for moving to griffintown from a suburb of Montreal, "it's so loud in the city". I have a neighbour who loves mowing his grass, so it might be quieter in griffentown 😂

I haven't seen any on the app yet, or the website. But there doesn't seem to be an option to display the trailers on the website map. Looking forward to using these!
